If you’re heading to Vegas for the WSOP 2008, there are a couple of things you can do to get ready. You can adjust your schedule to include more multi-table tournaments. If you have chosen a specific variation of tournament, it would only make sense to get in as many events – in that variation – as you can between now and then.

It wouldn’t hurt to read up on some tournament strategy before heading into the WSOP. Dan Harrington’s books on tournament holdem will teach something to anyone who reads them. “Tournament Poker for Advanced Players”, by David Sklansky, is another sure bet.

The other thing you can do is dream about winning. Picture yourself deep into an event, getting to the final table or winning the whole thing. Envision yourself being successful; it’s more important than most people realize. Realities begin with a thought, and then with effort become experiences.
